These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and are part of the Pickens County school district, which is ranked 104 out of 135 districts in Alabama.

Among the three elementary schools, Gordo Elementary School stands out as the top performer. Gordo Elementary has consistently ranked higher than the other two schools in the state-wide SchoolDigger rankings, reaching as high as 180 out of 680 Alabama elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, Gordo Elementary's test scores are significantly higher than the Pickens County and Alabama averages across multiple subjects and grade levels, with 83.75% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English compared to 72.63% for Pickens County and 65.34% for Alabama.

In contrast, Aliceville Elementary School and Reform Elementary School have lower performance metrics, with Aliceville Elementary having the highest free/reduced lunch rate at 93.76% and Reform Elementary having the highest spending per student at $11,280.
